        Chris, I'm thinking about doing a loden green NattyX smokejumper with a bad ass sole as a hunting boot….

                  I just registered for this. Glad to be a part of it with everyone. I'm looking forward to using and lovingly abusing my first pair of White's.  😉
                  Does anyone have any insight as to the sizing? I want to be as sure as possible before ordering. I've read that the semi-dress last fits similar to Alden's trubalance last (I'm an 8E in my Indy's), and was going to order the same.

                    ^ Me also, glad to be taking part! I have a pair of William Lennon boots inbound at the moment, but I think this is the perfect opportunity for a pair of Whites. I normally wear a 10 EE in a US boot, and a 9/9.5 G in a UK (depending in the make). Can I go true to size in Whites?

                      sirxlaughs, sorry man but I have no experience with Alden. I find that Whites generally fit half a size big.

                      michaeljcr, if you're usually a UK9.5 I would go with a US10.

                        Fits very similar to trubalance however, trubalance is wider than semi dress last

                            I'm up for a promotion at work.  If I get it, I'll be ordering a pair of White's like nobody has ever seen.  And if I don't, I'll be in Danner x Tanner Goods Mountain Trail Left Banks.

                            Here's hoping for some managerial wisdom!

                              Just a quick post to clear up sizing: UK sizing is one half size smaller than US sizing. Thus, a UK 9.5 is a US 10. They are exactly the same size, just expressed differently.

                              I am a US 12. In the UK, 11.5. In Japan, 30. In Germany and France, 46 2/3. But, they are all the same, the difference is in the expression.

                                Thanks for the sizing help, d666.

                                So far, the configuration I'm thinking of is #8 CXL vamp and counter with natural CXL upper, 6" height, celastic toe, red liner, single midsole, standard height with 90 degree heel, brass eyes/hooks, and the vibram 100 lug.
